Well, I said that the game was going to be a classic...I didn't think it would be so classically bad. That was one of the most poorly played major basketball games I've ever seen. Man.

That being said, fear the turtle! Maryland had an absolutely great season. Deserving champions, deserving champions, indeed.

I sure hope an NBA team takes a chance on Juan Dixon. The guy is all heart and I've never seen anyone with as quick a first step and presence on the court to get the kinds of steals he gets. Absolutely a joy to have watched him play.

Vitale has already changed his mind about next year's (It's not too early to start dreaming about next year is it ;-) ??) and has Kansas #1, Arizona #2 and UK #3 if Bogans comes back. Not sure about UK that hight, but hey . . .

Take a chance on Dixon because he's 160 pounds soaking wet, and in the NBA, I guess people think 6'6" shooting guards like Kobe would maul him--or Shaq or someone would eat him if he tried to drive--I don't know. All I know is that nobody, not even the most diehard Terps boosters here in Washington believe he'd be picked in the lottery, although now that he's proven that he can hit a shot on anyone at any time as one of the great clutch shooters ever, plus that heart I mentioned before...he's gonna make an NBA and maybe even go late first round. I personally would love to see him go in the lottery--if Trajan Langdon can be a first round pick, Juan Dixon most definitely deserves it.
